Underwater moving vehicle

Abstract

The present invention provides an underwater moving vehicle improved in motion performance and capable of stably maintaining its position. [Solution] An underwater moving vehicle comprising: a vehicle body (1) configured to be set in advance in such a manner that weight of the vehicle body (1) becomes larger than buoyant force generated in water; a thruster (32) configured to generate an upward thrust by driving screw propellers (21); a drive adjuster (50) configured to control water depth of the vehicle body (1) to a predetermined position by adjusting drive of the screw propellers (21) and generating the upward thrust equivalent to difference between the weight and the buoyant force; and a water flow deflector (34) configured to move the vehicle body (1) in a horizontal direction by deflecting a downward water flow generated by the screw propellers (21).
